A payroll schedule defines when you should run your payroll so that you can pay your employees on their pay day. You define how often you pay your employees (weekly, biweekly, monthly, and so on), which date their paycheck is due, and which day you run payroll, and QuickBooks calculates your upcoming payroll schedule so that you can pay your employees on time.

When you use payroll schedules, QuickBooks automatically determines the payroll processing dates for each pay period, taking into account weekends and bank holidays. You set up your payroll schedule one-time and assign employees to it, and QuickBooks creates payroll schedules, based on the frequency you set up, for each upcoming pay period.
